[...] Robert Scoble colloca Facebook nel contesto dei servizi di aggregazione e micropublishing ed afferma: ”Sono totalmente soddisfatto che Facebook stia diventando rapidamente il più importante social network sul Web. Se ottieni di essere aggiunto alla mia Lista di Amici su Facebook (non è difficile, basta chiedere) vedrai che essa aggrega moltissime cose in un’unica pagina: i miei video su Kyte, i miei micro-post su Twitter, i link dai blog, e molto altro ancora. In più puoi visitare uno dei miei 500 amici.” [...]

Try the TwitterSync app for Facebook. It synchronises your Facebook status with your latest Tweet. Sweet.

I’m pretty much overwhelmed by all of the blogging/micro-blogging/personal update tools out there, though that’s probably because I’m trying to do ten things at once: network, keep up with friends, meet new people, explore next career steps, experiment with social media, and on and on.

Twitter is unique in my mind because it is so simple. Facebook is powerful but has the same drawback as Myspace which is that there’s so much. I believe people out there are as overwhelmed as I am and are looking for simpler, lower tech solutions. I believe we are seeing regression to the mean with Twitter, moving to a platform that does one thing really well.

The truly sticky users, the ones who provide long-term revenues are the ones who don’t necessarily have dozens of accounts with social media services but know what they want and need.

Erica’s little comment above about an impending Web 2.0 Crash in 2009 is the item on this page that resonated loudest with me. And Shawn Oster’s comments are definitely noteworthy as well – people like to talk, not listen…

All of these apps remind me of toys. They are cool and they are fun to play with. And because they are essentially free to the user, there is no reason not to get one and have some fun.

But unless they provide some practical value at the very root level, they all run the high risk of gathering dust in the garage when the next new toy comes out…and there is SO much money involved in all of this…I know the Facebook guy turned down a cool billion from Yahoo, and he may have actually made the right choice considering Facebook’s present value.

I don’t mean to be Debbie Downer, but something just seems shaky about this whole picture…Maybe I’m one of the few people left in this world that really doesn’t give a **** about knowing that my friends are watching TV right now…or maybe I just don’t want to invest the time making the lifestyle change required to learn and use ALL of these apps…

For whatever reason, I just can’t get into this Facebook/Twitter/Kyte/Jaiku/Dopplr/Plaxo/Phuser/MySpace thing…I’m fascinated by it all, but just not even close to being hooked…
